THE FIJI ISLANDS.
Receive* February 27, 10.30 a.m. Sydney, February 27. The Daily Telegraph, dealing with Mr Berkeley's crusado, sajs is was the Commonwealth's manifest interest to oppose what in a sense would be alienation of the islands ifor though New Zealand is not a foreign country nationally, for political purposes it is so), and to have the islands' status quo main* tamed. This need not mean a continuance of legalised slavery and other grievances which the Fijians complain of, and which they have a right to expect the Imperial Government to redress. All it would really mean would be opposition to the control of important parts of Australasia finally passing to the Colonial Government and away from the Commonwealth, which may reasonably insist on being consulted before any such serious step is taken.
